It’s become more than a smidge cliche to ruminate on the difficulties facing tweens and teens as they attempt to navigate the tempestuous sea of hormones and middle school. But teaching them isn’t exactly lollipops and sugar pies, either — even for fresh-faced graduates straight off their student teaching assignments. Fortunately, the Internet allows even the most combat-hardened middle school veteran a place to exchange ideas, insights and pretty much everything else relevant to their industry, and some of the best do just that on these blogs.

.................PR firms have been using fake "people" to promote products and other things for a while now, both online and even in bars and coffee houses.
But for a defense contractor with ties to the federal government, Hunton & Williams, DOD, NSA, and the CIA - whose enemies are labor unions, progressive organizations, journalists, and progressive bloggers, a persona apparently goes far beyond creating a mere sockpuppet.
According to an embedded MS Word document found in one of the HB Gary emails, it involves creating an army of sockpuppets, with sophisticated "persona management" software that allows a small team of only a few people to appear to be many, while keeping the personas from accidentally cross-contaminating each other. Then, to top it off, the team can actually automate some functions so one persona can appear to be an entire Brooks Brothers riot online..........

The internet is filled with endless possibilities when it comes to getting your name, company, brand, logo, or Facebook status out there. For this, we have condensed this realm of thought in the idea of social media. With these many outlets (from blogging to Twitter), some people have hit a wall when it comes to properly marketing themselves (or company) to the ideal audience.

The Central Bucks East High School English teacher who got suspended last week for complaining about her students on a blog is at it again.
And she is making no apologies for what she said - defending herself through her blog and in an interview with this newspaper Monday.
"While I never in a million years would have guessed that this many people would ever see my words, and I didn't even intend them to, I stand by what I wrote and I think it's good that people are aware now," Natalie Munroe wrote on her blog Saturday morning.
"There are serious problems with our education system today - with the way that schools and school district and students and parents take teachers who enter the education field full of life and hope and a desire to change the world and positively impact kids, and beat the life out of them and villainize them and blame them for everything - and those need to be brought to light. If this 'scandal' opens the door for that conversation, so be it. Let that conversation begin. Stay tuned here."
In the post, Munroe recounts what has happened since students discovered her blog on Feb. 8: She was escorted from the school the following day, suspended with pay and her blog became national news. Munroe and her attorney were interviewed on a nationally syndicated television program over the weekend.
Munroe told the newspaper she started blogging again for the same reason she blogged before: "It's still an outlet to keep up with friends. I need to write. That's what I do. I don't think that, as a teacher, with or without the scandal surrounding, I should not be allowed to do something that everybody else is allowed to do."
Administrators are investigating Munroe's blog - what she wrote and how much she wrote on school time. Superintendent N. Robert Laws said last week that the blogged complaints were "very egregious" and "certainly could result in termination." He declined to comment further Monday.
Steve Rovner, Munroe's attorney, said the school district has "no basis for firing her."
"The school district has its power and authority and protections through the law. They're not just a private employer. They can't hire and fire anyone at will," he said.
"They do not have an Internet policy. They specifically do not have a no-blogging policy. She did not do anything wrong that would give them cause to fire her."
Rovner said Munroe "was as responsible as she could be." He noted that she blogged only as Natalie M., and did not identify her school, administrators or students by name. She did include a photo with her blog.
The media attention surrounding Munroe's blog has caused other teachers across the county to stop their blogs and deactivate their Facebook pages, Rovner said. "All that's doing is limiting interesting speech. Everyone who speaks has an audience and all these audiences have disappeared out of fear."
Rovner told a TV reporter that he believes Munroe has a First Amendment case against the school district if she is fired.
Munroe, a 30-year-old mother who is expecting her second child, started teaching in 2006. She has a bachelor's degree in English literature and a master's degree in education. She told the newspaper Monday that she worked in corporate real estate briefly before she became a teacher.
"I love literature. I love reading. I love the written word and communication. I felt like I really wasn't using any of the awesome stuff that I knew and could bring to somebody else, working in corporate real estate," she said, explaining why she became a teacher. "I was really excited and enthusiastic when I got my first class."
As she continued to teach, she said, it got a little less exciting.
"It seemed like there was less and less accountability on students, and more and more having to explain what we do," she said.
Munroe started her blog in September 2009.
She said she has always loved writing and a friend encouraged her to try blogging.
Munroe said she has a Facebook page that is set to "highly private" because she never wanted anything like this to happen. She never thought to post her thoughts on Facebook or password-protect her blog "because it is so hard to find."
"There are thousands and thousands of blogs out there. I was just writing about the hum-drum of my life," she said. "Even if somebody stumbled upon it, who cares? I am nobody."
She wrote 84 posts in a little more than a year. Most of them were about muffins, Food Network stars, her favorite movies, restaurants she thought were overrated, child-rearing and her pregnancy. She also wrote a few profanity-peppered rants about her administrators, co-workers and students.
The posts people are talking about the most are more than a year old.
Munroe said: "I really think that somebody dug it up on purpose to raise trouble. And now it has."
In one post, written a month after she started the blog, Munroe called her students "rude, lazy, disengaged whiners." She fantasized in another post about telling their parents what she really thought about them.
She created a list of "canned comments" she thought teachers should be able to choose from for report cards, some of which contained profanity. The list included: "rat-like," "dresses like a streetwalker," "frightfully dim," and "whiny, simpering grade-grubber with an unrealistically high perception of own ability level."
Munroe claims in the blog post she wrote Saturday that the comments were "misunderstood." She explains: "At report card time, we are obliged to add a comment to supplement and/or expand on the letter grades. We are strongly encouraged to use the 'canned comments' option, which have a limited number of comments from which teachers may choose to explain students+
"So I took the opportunity for myself and the possible amusement of my friends - since I was content and expected for everything to stay low-key with only my seven pals reading my ramblings - to list those real behaviors that exist but that you just aren't allowed to write. (Parents don't want to hear the truth; administrators don't want us to share the truth.)
"But regardless, they weren't comments meant to fit all students, and nor were they even for every student I wrote 'cooperative in class' about - I was just being pithy when I made that joke."
Munroe says she does not hate her students, and actually likes some of them.
"But the fact remains that every year, more and more, students are coming in less willing to work, to think, to cooperate. These are the students I was complaining about in my blog. The same way millions of Americans go home at the end of the day and complain about select coworkers or clients or other jerks they had to deal with, I came home and complained on my blog about those I had to deal with," she says.

While plenty of strides have been made when it comes to opportunities for women in education, business, politics, the military and more, society still has a ways to go before they obtain completely equal footing. Cisgendered and transgendered women of all races, religions, orientations, abilities, body types and backgrounds must sharpen their leadership skills if they hope to ever reach their personal, professional and political goals.
